GRADUATE STUDY Under the supervision of the Graduate Council, instruction is given leading to one or another of several advanced degrees. The student may elect to work for his appropriate degree in many departments of the Uni­ versity. The History The University owes its foundation to Ira Allen, who gave four thou­ sand pounds to help establish a university in Burlington. He had aided more than any other one man in forming the State and in preserving its integrity through the troubled years preceding its admission to the Union. In 1791 the first General Assembly of the new State granted the charter for the University. Instruction was begun by the first president, Daniel C. Sanders, in 1800 and four , years later the first class was graduated. In 1872 women were first admitted. The Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Representative and later Senator from Ver­ mont, sponsored the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862, which provided for colleges to teach liberal and scientific courses, including Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. Under this act the Legislature chartered the Vermont Agricultural College in 1864. A year later the two corporations were joined by legislative act in a new corporation, the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. Later the Experiment Station and Exten­ sion Service were established by the Legislature. Courses in Civil Engi­ neering were first given in 1829. Four-year curicula in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Management Engineering have followed. The study of Medicine began with the appointment in 1804 of a lec­ turer in Chirurgery and Anatomy, and a full course of Medical Lectures 4 The Campus was offered in 1822 by the cooperation of an association of doctors and the University. From this developed the Medical College. Since 1920, women have been admitted to this college. Since 1944, the University has offered pre-clinical classroom instruc­ tion for the nursing students of most Vermont hospitals. In 1946, the University was re-organized into its present divisions.

  • Resolving the Incommensurability of Eugenics & the Quantified Self
    Eugenics & the Quantified Self Resolving the Incommensurability of Eugenics & the Quantified Self Gabi Schaffzin The “quantified self,” a cultural phenomenon which emerged just before the 2010s, embodies one critical underlying tenet: self-tracking for the purpose of self-improvement through the identification of behavioral and environmental variables critical to one’s physical and psychological makeup. Of course, another project aimed at systematically improving persons through changes to the greater population is eugenics. Importantly, both cultural phenomena are built on the predictive power of correlation and regression—statistical technologies that classify and normalize. Still, a closer look at the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century eugenic projects and the early-twenty-first century proliferation of quantified self devices reveals an inherent incommensurability between the fundamental tenets underlying each movement. Eugenics, with its emphasis on hereditary physical and psychological traits, precludes the possibility that outside influences may lead to changes in an individual’s bodily or mental makeup. The quantified self, on the other hand, is predicated on the belief that, by tracking the variables associated with one’s activities or environment, one might be able to make adjustments to achieve physical or psychological health. By understanding how the technologies of the two movements work in the context of the predominant form of Foucauldian governmentality and biopower of their respective times, however, the incommensurability between these two movements might in fact be resolved. I'm Gabi Schaffzin from UC San Diego and I'm pursuing my PhD in Art History, Theory, and Criticism with an Art Practice concentration. My work focuses on the designed representation of measured pain in a medical, laboratory, and consumer context.

  • Heavenly Priesthood in the Apocalypse of Abraham
    HEAVENLY PRIESTHOOD IN THE APOCALYPSE OF ABRAHAM The Apocalypse of Abraham is a vital source for understanding both Jewish apocalypticism and mysticism. Written anonymously soon after the destruction of the Second Jerusalem Temple, the text envisions heaven as the true place of worship and depicts Abraham as an initiate of the celestial priesthood. Andrei A. Orlov focuses on the central rite of the Abraham story – the scapegoat ritual that receives a striking eschatological reinterpretation in the text. He demonstrates that the development of the sacerdotal traditions in the Apocalypse of Abraham, along with a cluster of Jewish mystical motifs, represents an important transition from Jewish apocalypticism to the symbols of early Jewish mysticism. In this way, Orlov offers unique insight into the complex world of the Jewish sacerdotal debates in the early centuries of the Common Era. The book will be of interest to scholars of early Judaism and Christianity, Old Testament studies, and Jewish mysticism and magic. ANDREI A. ORLOV is Professor of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity at Marquette University. His recent publications include Divine Manifestations in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2009), Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2009), Concealed Writings: Jewish Mysticism in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2011), and Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology (2011).

  • Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology
    Orlov Dark Mirrors RELIGIOUS STUDIES Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology Dark Mirrors is a wide-ranging study of two central figures in early Jewish demonology—the fallen angels Azazel and Satanael. Andrei A. Orlov explores the mediating role of these paradigmatic celestial rebels in the development of Jewish demonological traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to later Jewish mysticism, such as that of the Hekhalot and Shi ur Qomah materials. Throughout, Orlov makes use of Jewish pseudepigraphical materials in Slavonic that are not widely known. Dark Mirrors Orlov traces the origins of Azazel and Satanael to different and competing mythologies of evil, one to the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the other to the revolt of angels in the antediluvian period. Although Azazel and Satanael are initially representatives of rival etiologies of corruption, in later Jewish and Christian demonological lore each is able to enter the other’s stories in new conceptual capacities. Dark Mirrors also examines the symmetrical patterns of early Jewish demonology that are often manifested in these fallen angels’ imitation of the attributes of various heavenly beings, including principal angels and even God himself. Andrei A. Orlov is Associate Professor of Theology at Marquette University. He is the author of several books, including Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha.

Why is it here? Where is it going? Why, for the sake of all that’s holy, do I think that you care about yet another book on mythology? Surely, you must be thinking to yourself, you have no need for one (even if it is free). You have three already. Maybe even more! Here’s the difference: Those books that you have will tell you who Hades was. Maybe it’ll be incredibly in-depth and inform you of every variation of every myth that ever featured him. You’ll know a lot about Hades after you read that incredibly thorough book. And after you read the entries on a dozen or so other death divinities, you’ll have a pretty good idea of their common traits. This book approaches the matter from the complete opposite direction. It tells you about death divinities as a class, and then it casually mentions Hades as a number of examples.

  • HUGHES Falv1ily of CAPE ~1A Y COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
    HUGHES FAlv1ILY OF CAPE ~1A Y COUNTY, NEW JERSEY 1650 - - 1950 A genealogy of the descendants of Humphrey Hughes of Long Island 1650 and later of Cape lvfay County, New Jersey HUGHES FAMILY Early genealogists have said that our family is of Welsh origin and about which there seems to be no doubt, indeed, the name of the progenitor of our family, Humphrey Hughes, very definitely designates Welsh origin. Welsh names derive from a son who would adopt his father's name as a last name and add "S" or "es". Thus Humphrey ap Hugh, as he was known in Wales, became Humphrey Hughes. William ap William became William Williams and thus we account for so many double names in persons of Welsh descent. The collecting of the genealogy of the Hughes Family has indeed been a pleasure. It has been carried on as an avocation covering about fifteen years. When I began the collection of this data, it was not with the thought of produc­ ing a genealogy, but just to satisfy my own desire to know more about our early ancestors in this country. It was such a very interesting hobby that I continued to search and collect until I found that I had accumulated valuable genealogical information which it is probable that no other person would ever put together and for the purpose of preserving this information for posterity, I am putting it in print. There are other Hughes families in New Jersey which have no connection with ours and I have not attempted to include them, but have confined my work to the direct descendants of our first ancestor, Humphrey Hughes.
